Compliant mechanisms and actuators are growing in importance due to their benefits in
robotics, medical technology, sensor applications, or in handling compressible objects. This …

Hybrid multiaxis flexure hinges with a generalized elliptical-arc hybrid fillet (EAHF) notch
contour are herein developed and investigated. Analytical closed-form equations of …

Notch flexure hinges are often used as revolute joints in high-precise compliant
mechanisms, but their contour-dependent deformation and motion behaviour is currently …

Notch flexure hinges are commonly used in compliant mechanisms for precision
engineering applications and yet important rotational properties of a hinge like the bending …

Flexure hinges with notches are typical elements in high-precision compliant mechanisms
with a wide variety of sizes from macro to micro or nano applications. This paper investigates …

A compliant mechanism gains its mobility fully or partially from the compliance of its
elastically deformable parts rather than from conventional joints. Due to many advantages …

Nachgiebige Mechanismen sind im Stande, Bewegungen und Kräfte zu übertragen dank
der Fähigkeit zur Deformation von Systemteilen bzw. des ganzen Systems. Diese …

Compliant mechanisms are widely applied in precision engineering, measurement
technology and microtechnology, due to their potential for the reduction of mass and …

For the realization of high precise motion, often compliant mechanisms are used instead of
rigid-body mechanisms. In these solid-state mechanisms, the flexibility is achieved by …

The design of precision compliant mechanisms requires the assessment of the elasto-
kinematic characteristics of the flexure hinges connecting bulky parts. Due to geometrical …
